The High Court has blocked the prosecution of businessman Jimi Wanjigi in a firearms case, citing constitutional violations.
Justice Bahati Mwamuye’s decision marks a victory for Wanjigi, who has been involved in legal battles with the state over firearm-related charges.
The case, which evolved from allegations of illegal firearm possession, was dismissed because the respondents violated due process.
The judge also declared the revocation of his firearms certificate null and void.
In addition, the DPP was barred from filing any criminal charges in connection with the matter. Â
The court also ruled that the prosecution of Wanjigi’s employees, Duncan Odhiambo and Calvin Ochieng, was unconstitutional because their rights had been violated, resulting in an abuse of the legal process.
The court determined that the Director of Public Prosecutions violated the Constitution, resulting in the termination of the criminal proceedings against them.
